Mallis R, Brazin K, Duke-Cohan J, Akitsu A, Stephens H, Chang-Gonzalez A, et al.
Immunol Rev . 2025 Jan; 329(1):e13432. PMID: 39745432
αβT cells protect vertebrates against many diseases, optimizing surveillance using mechanical force to distinguish between pathophysiologic cellular alterations and normal self-constituents. The multi-subunit αβT-cell receptor (TCR) operates outside of thermal...

Akitsu A, Kobayashi E, Feng Y, Stephens H, Brazin K, Masi D, et al.
Sci Adv . 2024 Aug; 10(33):eado4313. PMID: 39141734
αβ T cell receptors (TCRs) principally recognize aberrant peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex molecules (pMHCs) on unhealthy cells, amplifying specificity and sensitivity through physical load placed on the TCR-pMHC...

McGough M, Shiels S, Boller L, Zienkiewicz K, Duvall C, Wenke J, et al.
Tissue Eng Part A . 2018 Nov; 25(13-14):949-963. PMID: 30398387
The development of autograft extenders is a significant clinical need in bone tissue engineering. We report new settable poly(thioketal urethane)-based autograft extenders that have bone-like mechanical properties and handling properties...

Lu S, McGough M, Shiels S, Zienkiewicz K, Merkel A, Vanderburgh J, et al.
Biomaterials . 2018 Jul; 179:29-45. PMID: 29960822
Bone fractures at weight-bearing sites are challenging to treat due to the difficulty in maintaining articular congruency. An ideal biomaterial for fracture repair near articulating joints sets rapidly after implantation,...

Shiels S, Talley A, McGough M, Zienkiewicz K, Kalpakci K, Shimko D, et al.
J Orthop Surg Res . 2017 Jul; 12(1):107. PMID: 28697772
Background: The challenging biological and mechanical environment of posterolateral fusion (PLF) requires a carrier that spans the transverse processes and resists the compressive forces of the posterior musculature. The less...
